Thanks...
OK, there are many to choose from, we use Central Florida Medical, Dr. Lichtinger, however, they are in Leesburg on route 27, about a 25 minute ride from the Brownwood area. You might want to clarify your request, golfcart accessible, close to, specific health issues etc. Also, you may need to change your supplemental, so check on this with your current coverage, then ask THEM who is in network in this area. You can then see which appear to suit your travel or other concerns and ask about these specific practices. I would also suggest calling any that you may be interested in ASAP as some will not be accepting new patients, and many will have long wait times (2 to 3 months) for the initial appointment (nurse/ nurse practioner) before actually seeing the doctor maybe a month or so after that.
On a side note you can actually use many of the Village Health SPECIALISTS with traditional Medicare coverage.
